Twist In My Sobriety
Gennaro Cosmo Parlato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We've just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, takes time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
The song "Twist in my sobriety" by Gennaro Cosmo Parlato is a complex and deeply introspective piece that offers a glimpse into the mind of the artist. The verses make references to various ideas about conscience, freedom, and different perspectives. The opening lines, "All God's children need travelling shoes, Drive your problems from here, All good people read good books, Now your conscience is clear", speak to the idea that seeking out new experiences, gaining knowledge, and facing one's problems will help clear one's conscience. The following line, "I hear you talk girl, Now your conscience is clear", suggests that the person the song is addressed to has reached a state of clarity and is sharing their perspective.
The chorus, "Look my eyes are just holograms, Look your love has drawn red from my hands, From my hands you know you'll never be, More than twist in my sobriety", is one of the most enigmatic parts of the song. It is unclear what the "twist in my sobriety" refers to, but it could suggest a moment of crisis or turning point. The hologram metaphor may imply that the singer's emotions are not real or that love itself is a kind of illusion.
